I helped to sell System 36s (the big ones that took half a room) back in early 1980s. I remember one demo when a potential customer asked "If it's this slow with one user how slow is it with six?" The person doing the demo "improvised" with "It's dynamic load time balancing." Which I'd never heard of before. Turns out neither had anyone else involved with the System 36. I later came across a whole insurance company that was run on a S/36. It was replaced by a single 386 PC.
